At Adaptive, I helped to benchmark the Aeron messaging platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

During the course of the project, I:

• built the infrastructure provisioning harness required to run the tests on two cloud providers with different scenarios and configurations
  • instance types
  • network topology and configuration
  • transport security (IPSec, Wireguard, etc.)
  • storage types
• built an automation for rendering results (latency graphs, experiment parameters, etc.)
• built an automation for provisioning infrastructure, running benchmarks in various configurations (peer-to-peer, cluster) and rendering results
• assisted with the running of benchmarks, analyzing results and investigating performance issues

See the press release from AWS on the topic and the performance testing results are publicly available.
